The Mad Merchant

The Mad Merchant can be found in Dalaran's Toy shop; currently he only sells 4 items, each for . (Disclaimer: Today we located The Mad Merchant, however the location we found him at could be placeholder, or he could also appear in other places at the Broken Isles or this could be his one an only location.)

Shortly after I purchased an item The Mad Merchant vanished! He may appear at random and may disappear on his own accord or after someone purchases something from him.

World Quest UI Updates

World Quests Map has received just a few quality of life updates such as actual numerical timers on them. We also learned that gear rewards that display a + such as 805+, have a chance of dropping much higher item level rewards.

Suramar Currency

Once you've done the introduction quest to get to Suramar, you will quickly learn about withered and the Nightborne. To proceed through the Suramar questline, ignoring profession quests and side quests, the main questline has you take refuge in Shal'Aran, here you will interact with a few Arcanist and need to aid them with a form of "currency" named Mana ancestral. Ancient Mana can be found through killing any Nightborne or Withered or located on the ground around Suramar. Once harvested from the ground, you need to right click the various types of mana crystal you find and it will give you various amounts. At the start it seems that you can only hold up to 300 Ancient mana at a time, but that number increases as you progress through the questline.

Disclaimer (This is what I personally learned through questing through a bit of Suramar, things can change from now, tomorrow, or right before release.)

Shal'Aran starts off as a dark cave, as you continue through, it will begin to look a bit nicer.

Ancient Mana nodes found around Suramar.

Progressing through this questline will unlock Teleportation Leylines that you can use to move around Suramar with ease.

Desvin

We are considering disabling relics in PvP instances (battlegrounds, skirmishes, arenas, and rated battlegrounds) due to way gear is handled in PvP in Legion. Item level will not have as much impact in PvP which throws off the balance of relic itemization.

Zorbrix

This is actually intended; we've done some work behind the scenes to make it so mobs don't instantly level and get harder when you ding. The idea being that when you ding from 104 to 105, you haven't had a chance to get 105 gear yet, so you're wearing 104 gear and now creatures have more health and do more damage.

That's very wise. Addresses that concern quite well. how much does it lag behind though? If you gain 2 levels in a short period of time will mobs linger 2 levels behind or will the difference never exceed 1?

I believe it's somewhere around 50% - and then it'll trigger when you complete a quest, hit a loading screen, or log out.

I swear, adding spider mounts is just another attempt by Blizzard to make people like me (I HATE spiders) scream like little girls whenever one of these things comes riding by, heh heh.

As gold inflation continues, I suppose 100k for a few special mounts is fair. But for a toy? Better see a price cut...The bag is just laughable.

I can see the mount staying at 100k

The toy and pet can be like 10k

With the bag being 5k or something.

Agree on all accounts that the only item worth the price is the mount. Many vendor mounts have traditionally been gold sinks so I get that. I suppose the Mad Merchant is the new Hilton.

Agreed MONKIY 100k for a 34 slot bag is a joke. Whats that convert into right now? $60 a bag? Maybe its a achievement item.

The bag is even more laughable when you consider how many people will be regaining the entirety of their bank space with the Wardrobe being added.The spider is pretty impressive to see, just hope it doesn't start sharing the model with something far easier to obtain a few patches down the line.

I wish there was an adorable jumping spider model. That said, this one moves so well and has a rather sweet face. I look forward to going broke buying one.

A sadist. Normally I would like you for that, but when I'm the one in the crosshairs...AAAAAAAAAHHH! *runs away screaming*

More fill the bar quests but for world quests ... yay ... not really. Hopefully there's more to do there than just click some objects that respawn slower than a snail moves 12 inches and kill mobs. I want direction, not just go there and do something for some random reason. Not really buying into the talking head that pops up when you get to those areas, either. Unless they're right in front of me, an NPC has no reason to be talking to me from across the zone or continent. Most NPCs in WoW don't have telepathy or cellphones. Only a few have items that let them communicate across distance.

Not sure I like the spider mount, either. Have mild arachnophobia myself although not enough to set me off when I see a digital one. I just see no where I'd really use it. I'll keep to my horses and raptors.

I don't think so though. I think it's the Paris Hilton Bag 2.0

More like 250k, 100k, 100k, 50k.

They need to burn some money after WoD.

Nobody would pay 100k for 4 more slots, over the hexweave, which is under 1k.

Let alone, probably a 32 slot bag from tailors.

100k 10k 10k 5k

Well looks like i'll have to grind for another 100k just for that spider mount for my Forsaken Warlock.
